People connect wirelessly to networks in multiple ways. Some surf the Internet using laptops at public Wi-Fi locations. Others use routers that they purchase or rent from their Internet service providers. Routers are devices that enable you to connect to a cable or DSL modem. Regardless of where you are accessing a network wirelessly, it is important to use an encryption method, such as WPA2, to ensure that other people do not intercept your private information as you communicate over the network.
